About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Flathead National Forest dominate this high-altitude terrain, where the boundary between Lincoln Co and Flathead Co cuts through the steep ridges. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages, notably Sunday Creek and its many tributaries like Blessed Creek and Harvey Creek. A Lookout Tower sits atop Sunday Mountain, serving as a critical vantage point for forestry management in this timber-heavy region.

Evidence of resource use and infrastructure is visible at the Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, while family-named summits like Paul Mountain overlook the deep valleys of Paul Creek and Maguire Creek. The map records a moment before extensive modern development, focusing on the hydraulic patterns of the East Fork and the intricate topography of the northern Rocky Mountains during the early 1960s.
